Cash App Pay Teams Up with Lyft for Seamless Payments
Hey Payments Fanatic!
Starting today, Cash App and Lyft are partnering to make payments even easier for digital-first riders. With Cash App Pay now integrated into Lyft’s app, riders can pay for their trips without entering card details—just link Cash App and go.
This partnership caters to Gen Z and Millennials who prefer alternatives to traditional credit cards, letting them pay with their Cash App balance or linked debit card. According to recent studies, Cash App is a top choice for these digital-savvy consumers.
“Today’s partnership makes paying for a Lyft ride as easy and rewarding as the ride itself,” says Jordan Glassberg, VP of Partnerships at Lyft.
With Cash App’s 57 million active users and Lyft’s 23.7 million riders, this collaboration is set to deliver more flexibility and convenience to millions.
